Cooked in the camp oven for the first time yesterday...was not feeling confident so tried a packet mix self saucing sticky date pudding. Turned out surprisingly well...Im not a big fan of packet mixes but I figured if it didnt work I could blame the packet mix. It was great to lift the lid off the camp oven and find that the pudding had turned from a batter to something mroe edible.

Will try my own creation next time instead of something from a packet, but will be a while before I try something like this chicken dish.

METHODCombine dates and water in a small camp oven and bring to boil. Remove from heat and soda. Stir and allow settling and then stirring in cinnamon. Cream butter and sugar in a bowl then gradually add eggs one at a time. Stir through sifted flour until well combined then add in date mixture. Spoon mixture into muffin pan, place the pan on a trivet in a preheated camp oven and bake for 25 minutes.

To make sauce combine butter brown sugar and cream in small camp oven, stir over heat without boiling until sugar dissolves. Simmer until sauce thickens.
